Hie Guys.

My rover 25 1.6 had a head gasket changed (by me) and now starts eratically. It wont start when hot but at time will do. Starts well in the cold but struggles when the engine had a run. Runs smoothly and well but does not start. It had water in the oil but not oil in the coolant.

Took it apart and changed gastket, started after a few cranks to make sure everything was ok. The engine started and I switched it off to put everything back. It drives ok and wont stall but does have trouble starting emmediatley after that.
